Makati | Saboten at Glorietta 5

Japanese dining are favorites of mine, maybe because I love to go to Japan someday or they have just got delightful cuisines that one cannot simply resist.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Nanban Set

Saboten is an authentic Japanese cutlet hailed from Shinjuku, Tokyo, where their first branch opened its doors in 1996. Since then, their goal has been to offer the best Tonkatsu, breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet, one could ever taste and experience. And successfully so, because now it is one of the largest Tonkatsu chains in Asia with over 500 shops across Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, China, and now, the Philippines.

I also liked their Curry Loin Set which I don't know if I have captured because I was busy eating after a long day of errands. Haha Apart from their various Tonkatsu offerings and other Japanese flavors, they’ve got some sweet offerings that would complete your dining experience like the Strawberry Parfait, Sesame SansRival Cake, and Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Cake.
Going over this set of pics, it is such an eye-candy food tour with that Tonkatsu-overload night in Makati. So, whenever I am looking for some authentic Japanese cutlets? I would, now, know where to go.
